Description

Out of discussion with Micheal Bedward it seems that FilterFactory2 is the cause for some confusion.

Formally this is the difference between:

• FilterFactory - strictly limited to the data structure defined by Filter specifications
• FilterFactory2 - allows for extensions unique to the GeoTools project

Taking a look at the issue today I also note that many methods accept a literal ISO Geometry;
since we don't use that in practice this results in a lot of useless methods that nobody
will ever call.

Status

This proposal is under construction.

Voting has not started yet:

• Andrea Aime
• Ben Caradoc-Davies
• Christian Mueller
• Ian Turton
• Justin Deoliveira
• Jody Garnett (current OSGeo representative)
• Michael Bedward
• Simone Giannecchini

Tasks

This section is used to make sure your proposal is complete (did you remember documentation?) and has enough paid or volunteer time lined up to be a success

1. Moves all methods into FilterFactory
   • Pull up methods into FilterFactory; update javadocs to indiacte what is "Strict" and what is a geotools extension
2. Allows methods that expected a literal ISO Geometry to accept a JTS geometry.
   • Change methods using an ISO Geometry to take a Object instead
3. Update default implementation
